Updates every night

As a world champion long jumper, Shi Yuanqing never dreamed he'd transmigrate into the body of a seventeen-year-old soccer substitute, and find himself constantly on the verge of getting fired.

Luckily, he got a golden finger in the form of a System. But... this System doesn't seem to think of him as a person.

The original owner of the body was hopeless at soccer, bad at everything he tried. To score a goal, he has to build up pain points to charge his shot.

So while everyone else plays soccer with skill, Shi Yuanqing plays with sheer grit.

Cristiano Ronaldo: "Shi is an opponent I respect, but I will definitely beat him."

Messi: "I'm looking forward to competing alongside Shi in La Liga."

A bunch of defenders: "I've never seen a forward with this much fight in him."

Reporter: "On top of showing off your incredible skills, you also bring joy to the fans."

Rubbing his head, which was on the verge of a concussion, Shi Yuanqing smiled faintly.

"Joy? I pay for it with my life."

[Next up: "The Soccer Star Scavenger"]

The Glazer family, Manchester United's owners, had been called "vampires" by the club's fans, having squeezed over a billion pounds out of the club in total. The team hated them with a passion. Then, in 2014, a shocking event rocked the soccer world: a mysterious Chinese tycoon bought all of the Glazers' shares, and the damn family was finally gone!

After an utterly disastrous season, Manchester United finished seventh in the league, and the head coach resigned to take responsibility. Much of the blame lay with CEO Ed Woodward's failed transfer dealings the previous year.

Woodward, the unlucky man who had only been there a year, was fired too. His replacement, however, left the Manchester United fans who had been celebrating furious all over again: Lu Yan, an inexperienced young man appointed solely because he was the new owner's son.

His father gave him an enormous transfer budget, so Lu Yan didn't need to do much preparation to achieve his transfer goals. But as soon as he started making deals, fate seemed to play a little joke on him.

[All funds confiscated. Host, please complete missions to earn a transfer budget.]

Lu Yan racked his brains to complete one bizarre mission after another.

"Fly to France and scout a young player?"

"Go to Milan Fashion Week to attract Messi?"

"There's no way I can do this one. What kind of general manager goes onto the pitch to play a match?!"

Years later, Manchester United's players asked their boss how he'd managed to find and assemble them from all over the world. Lu Yan smiled faintly and said, "If I told you I could see your potential just by looking at you, would you believe me?"
